ICE agents shouldn't wear masks. We need to know who is attacking and committing crimes. Masks undermine accountability, invite abuse, and help place perpetrators above the law.

A backgrounder is someone who conducts background checks.
Bloomington police announce arrests in sex trafficking bust: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies."

Completely wrong headline from CNN. The report from a 2006 police interview with Trump ANSWERS questions. Specifically, it proves that (no surprise) Trump is lying when he says he had no idea what Epstein was up to.
CNN should not perpetuate the lies.

More than half of the world’s new electric cars are now plugging into Chinese sockets instead of lining up at gas stations. By 2024, it is estimated that China’s EV sales were growing about 40% year on year, even as some Western markets stumbled.

China sold 11 million electric vehicles in one year, leaving less room for the oil it used to buy from Venezuela
But there is a basic question lurking behind the headlines. Who will actually need that oil in the years ahead? For years, China has been one of Venezuela’s

It’s ironic that there are now reports of Epstein trying to pass on info about DJT to Russian intelligence. Obviously didn’t know that the KGB knew ALL they needed about him already.

It's clear that foreign leaders, and adversaries are influencing our government to get their agenda finalized.
There's absolutely zero reason to keep ICE active and financed.
We see what you're doing and our government will reap the consequences, also.
Crimes against humanity.

Trump's approval over his biggest issue: The Economy
Down 26 points from a year ago
This is why he's scrambling to put ICE in cities, to intimidate voters. Instead, he's turning off voters.
